White MacBook now with 2.0Ghz and Nvidia 9400M graphics?
The Apple store is currently showing the white MacBook as “new” and shipping with NVidia 9400m graphics – the same chipset used in the new aluminum MacBooks. The speed is now also just 2.0 Ghz, down from 2.1 Ghz previously.
It looks as though Apple has decided to move that model over to the new platform used in all the other current generation MacBooks.

Apple has made the process very simple though: the first time you boot up your new machine, you’ll be asked to pick another Mac on your network. I usually connect to my network via wireless LAN, which is a bit slow for large amounts of data, so I just connected my old and new Macbook via an ethernet cable.
